spake thus:
I'm far from an expert in this field, but I consider non-breaking
spaces to be
part of a word (similar to a hyphen).
While this is true from the point of view of determining whether to
insert a
line break or similar (hence "non-breaking space"), I would argue
that it's
*not* true from the point of view of determining what is and isn't
a word.
Therefore I would see no problem with including non-breaking spaces
in the
whitespace class. In fact, to me it seems rather perverse that
something
that visually is *clearly* white space is not classed as white
space. To say
that "white space" should be considered one word whereas "white
space" is
considered two just doesn't make sense to me.
Just my 2¢ (actually, make that 10¢, that's shortly to become the
smallest
available denomination in NZ :)
